The Off Road Podcast

The Off-Road Podcast is a show for anybody that loves getting off the highway with their rig. We don't judge here, having an adventure off-road is all the matters. Whether you have a stock Geo tracker or a jacked Jeep on 40s, all are welcome here for their journey to building a better ride.

Welcome to the Off Road Podcast. Today we will be exploring the off road world-- whether you like crawling up rock ledges or enjoy exploring the backroads with your family. Stay with us to find out events in your area, off road news, and topics to interest every guy & girl who craves the outdoors as seen through the windshield. I am your host Ben here with my co-hosts Aaron, Steve, and Jeremy. And our guest Lance and Branden How’s everyone doing?

Anyone done anything exciting?

Ben - went to Montana in the van. Decided I’m buying a mig welder stay tuned for terrible welds. Just got pictures from my buddy that my bumper will be ready for paint

Jeremy - Went dirt biking to test out new boots. Feet are still wet, but not as wet. Put the RTT back on the truck. Got everything ready for the snow camping trip this weekend. Went up to the olympic mountains to look for snow.

Steve - Truck is back with the paint guy getting front fenders finished. Picked up all the wood to do the bed box/ drawers. Would like to figure out how to use a drawer slide but the longest they make is 24 inches. Not sure that will work. Found a coupon today for the HF 1.5 ton aluminum jack, so I used a visa gift card I got for xmas and picked it up. $63.59 with tax. In store without coupon is $79.99. On Christmas day I pulled a guy out of a ditch. His buddies and him were up in the mountains with their all wheel drive Mercedes and Audis driving around in tennis shoes and sweatpants and shirts. Completely unprepared. So after laughing at them, I chained up and pulled the guy out.

Aaron - Drove both my LMTV & Nissan in our lower field to see how “bad” traction is on soggy wet grass. Sighted in my .17hmr. Bought a pair of uppers for the lowers I recently bought.

Lance -

Branden -
